The T'korex was born from the development project that saw the creation of the D'deridex-class and resembled a smaller version of that design. Its main difference was that its underhull extended all the way to the command hull rather than connecting via a boom and other minor differences. It proved to be a highly popular design and it was preferred by some commanders due to its greater maneuverability and ease of internal customization over that of the D'deridex and saw as many T'korexs built as its larger cousin.
